Viscous Force using Head loss Due to Laminar Flow

Go Viscous Force head loss = Head loss*Specific Weight*pi*(Pipe Diameter^4)/(128*Rate of Flow*Change in Drawdown)

Length of Pipe given Head loss

Go Change in Drawdown = Head loss*Specific Weight*pi*(Pipe Diameter^4)/(128*Rate of Flow*Viscous Force head loss)

Viscous Stress

Go Viscous Stress = Dynamic Viscosity*Velocity Gradient/Fluid Thickness

Viscous Force Per Unit Area

Go Viscous Force = Force/Area

Heat Loss due to Pipe Formula

Heat Loss due to Pipe = (Force*Length*Fluid Velocity^2)/(2*Diameter*Acceleration Due To Gravity)
Qpipeloss = (F_viscous*L_pipe*u_Fluid^2)/(2*d*g)

What is Pipe Heat Loss ?

To simplify heat loss calculations, pipe heat loss is based on the heat loss per linear foot rather than the entire area of any given length. Also, for pipe insulation, the outer area of insulation is greater than the inner area due to wrapping insulation around the cylindrical shape of a pipe.

How to Calculate Heat Loss due to Pipe?
